Hi, I was planning a trip a trip out into the Ruth Gorge but my climbing partner pulled out so I am really keen to find someone else to head out with. We were looking at the southwest ridge of peak 11300 but Im pretty open to anything. Im an Australian and flying into US 3rd of May for 6 month climbing trip. I don't have a huge amount of time then though as I'm climbing with a friend from Petersburg from the start of june. If you want to chat about the possibility of hooking up for a climb email me your number at kim_ladiges@hotmail.com or txt me on +61419959423. I can call you back pretty cheap. cheers, Kim

Hi, my name is Kim. Im from Tasmania, Australia. Im planning a six month climbing holiday to the US and Canada this summer.I fly in on the 3rd of May and was hoping to fit in a trip into the Alaska Range during that month. I was thinking either some climbing in the Ruth Gorge or a trip to Denali. This is my first trip to Alaska so looking for "easier" routes to try and limit the severity of the humbling I am sure I will recieve. This website was recommended to me by a good friend from Petersburg so I thought I'd look here for partners. My Background: Being an Australian I have climbed alot more rock than ice. Last year I spent five months climbing in the french, swiss and italian alps predominantly around chamonix with routes up to alpine grade ED. I also have experience on mountains up to 6200m high in the himalaya but they were not technical difficult. Lead trad rock routes around aus grade 19-20 (I think is about 5.10b or so?) and ice at around scottish winter 4 (not sure how that converts). for the last five years Ive worked in Tasmania as trekking guide on remote trips so used to long expeditions, big packs, discomfort etc. Can give you a more detalied climbing resume if you would like. If you're interested let me know kim_ladiges@hotmail.com cheers, Kim
